I am a co-host with Aligned Escapes Wellness Retreats. We hired Chef Taylor as a surprise for all the women who joined our Sedona retreat. After a long day of travel they were gifted this authentic, holistic dinner experience by Chef Taylor. Her cooking is DIVINE, her drinks are out of this world delicious. The GREAT LOVE in which she prepares everything, the sound healing, and her beautiful words created one of the highest peaks of the retreat.
I am still craving everything she made!
Taylor went above and beyond for us for everything including; communication, considerations for allergies, adaptability for food restrictions, and cleaning.
Last minute she made a mouthwatering cake to surprise one of the women on her birthday. She brought sparklers for the cake. As hosts, we hired her only for the women attending the dinner (not ourselves) and she still fed us! Even more so, made us our own organized plates knowing we wouldn't get to it right away.
She was so at home in the kitchen.
I'll never forget this special dinner. Any future Sedona events we host, we will absolutely hire her. The kitchen really us her canvas. Spirit works through her. We are totally crazy about Chef Taylor!

So grateful to find Taylor Mae and experience her culinary gifts first hand for my 40th birthday dinner in Sedona. She made the dinner special with vibrant nutrient-dense foods and a special sound ceremony prior to eating. With her guidance we choose a Southwest theme for the menu and the tostada was a huge hit with my guests. My only regret is we had early flights the next morning and couldn't finish the leftovers she graciously provided. Taylor's presence and thoughtfulness made this event so special. Thank you Taylor!

I was fortunate to experience Taylor’s savory meals recently at a retreat in Sedona. She is a sweet soul, has a passion for cooking, and delivers gourmet meals. She knows how to combine ingredients that enhance the natural flavors. From her encouragement to bless our food, to the beautiful presentation of her meals, to the mouthwatering flavors, you are definitely in for a treat. Thank you Taylor!!! <3

Hire Her! I attended a week long retreat inwhich Taylor provided the lunch and dinners for the attendees. There were a few attendees who had a variety of diet restrictions and Taylor not only created different plates for different people, she made it seem effortless, which is amazing because it is actually very labor intensive. She created menus that were healthy, delicious and beautiful. It is obvious from the first organizational meeting, that Taylor really takes ownership of helping create the most wonderful events through her food. Lastly, I want to say that Taylor's presence was so sweet. All week long, she smiled and laughed with us and was sincerely interested in everyone. The group soon adopted her and included her in some of our activities. Taylor is a knowledgeable, talented, hardworking team player who makes delicious, healthy and beautiful food. Thanks Taylor! <3

I most highly recommend Chef Taylor - she is a delightful, heartfelt person and a chef who creates beautiful, nutrition and super delicious food.

We had a retreat for 5 days and she kept us so well fed, nourishing our taste pallets and our hearts. Our participants with special requests were fed so well and with such care as were we all.
Communication was easy and it was a total delight to work with Chef Taylor.
Thank you Chef Taylor!

First let me say that our dinner was amazing! Chef Taylor is so easy to work with. Her menus suggestions are great, but she is flexible. On top of all of that she is a really nice person you would want to invite into your house as just a friend. Our group highly recommends her and will use her again when we are back in Sedona.

Had a fantastic experience booking Taylor for a dinner and breakfast for my birthday weekend. She was very responsive, a great listener who incorporated my preferences, and is extremely thoughtful and intentional in making sure you have an enjoyable experience. As a foodie, I was thoroughly impressed with the flavor and freshness of the food. Presentation was excellent. The mocktails and cold pressed juices were delicious as well! Taylor brought singing bowls for a sound bath along with a warm kind energy and was extremely professional. I’d highly recommend Taylor for an amazing plant-based experience for vegans/vegetarians and meat eaters alike!
